661 Happy Chat

Lucas had long expected Clement to call Bruce and Damon to tell them to sever ties with him.

Of course, Clement's impatience worsened Lucas's impression of him.

"Got it. Ignore him," Lucas said indifferently on the phone.

He returned to the party hall and said to Alexis, "Is your grandfather available at the moment? I'd like to pay him a visit and then return to Orange County."

Alexis looked at Lucas, reluctant to part ways with him. "Lucas, are you leaving so soon? We have a ball later and some other activities lined up. Are you not going to stay and join us?"

She really couldn't bear to see Lucas leave so soon. Despite knowing that nothing romantic would come of her interaction with Lucas, she just wanted to look at Lucas for a little longer.

Lucas shook his head. "No, I came here today to wish you a happy birthday. I'm not interested in other activities. You can go ahead and have fun with your friends later."
